On November 28th, I had the pleasure of representing LifeinCloud at the ClusterTEC Networking Event, a gathering of forward-thinking professionals and businesses within the construction and technology sectors. ClusterTEC, a Romanian organization committed to fostering innovation and collaboration in the construction and engineering industries, aims to bridge the gap between traditional practices and cutting-edge digitalization. As a member of this dynamic cluster, LifeinCloud is proud to contribute to the vision of modernizing one of the most pivotal industries in Romania.
The Scope of ClusterTEC
ClusterTEC unites companies, research institutions, and stakeholders focused on transforming construction into a future-ready industry.
Their primary goals include:
- promoting digital transformation within the sector
- encouraging the adoption of sustainable construction practices
- facilitating collaboration between technology providers and construction companies
- driving innovation through research, education, and technology implementation
The event was a vibrant mix of discussions, knowledge-sharing, and a clear consensus: for construction companies to remain competitive in today’s market, they must embrace technology and digital solutions.
Digitalization and the Romanian Construction Sector
Historically, construction companies in Romania have been slow to adopt digital transformation. Many businesses relied on traditional workflows, prioritizing cost-cutting and manual processes over innovation. However, the global shift toward digitalization, coupled with increased competition, has put pressure on the industry to evolve.
Recent years have shown promise:
- BIM adoption (Building Information Modeling) is gaining traction for project planning and execution
- Companies are exploring workflow automation to enhance efficiency
- AI-driven analytics is being implemented to predict project risks and optimize operations.
Yet, many companies are still hesitant, largely due to the perceived complexity and costs of implementation.
